Editorial: Three cheers to promotions and saving the day

To Andrew Imperati. After nearly a year without an official general manager, the Dutchess County Fairgrounds named Mr. Imperati to this critically important position. He has actually been doing the job since January, serving as interim general manager after the departure of Bob Grems. Imperati has the experience and the passion: He has been a fairgrounds employee for 17 years, and has served as operations manager for the last six years. He is a past director of the New York State Association of Agricultural Fairs and has been involved with the Dutchess County 4-H since his childhood. This was a great and deserved choice to serve as general manager. Best of luck to Mr. Imperati in his "new" job!

To the New York State Police, which launched an official Facebook page and Twitter account earlier this year to update New Yorkers on public safety information and request tips on investigations.

The sites will be used to post information about the units and members of the police along with updates about arrests, closings and traffic safety. Police will also ask citizens for information about crimes and provide phone numbers. The state police's Facebook page is facebook.com/nyspolice, and the state police are on Twitter at @nyspolice.

To Adams Fairacre Farms in Kingston which donated 40 Christmas trees to replace trees stolen from the Boy Scouts of America's Rip Van Winkle Council, which was operating a fundraiser in the Burlington Coat Factory parking lot on Route 9W. That's in keeping with the holiday spirit, Adams!

No Cheers

To the scoundrels who had the audacity and mean-spiritedness to steal Christmas trees from Boy Scouts!
